Jones has been very open about how much he likes having Pickens be a part of the team, but his next contract will not be cheap. With the Cowboys already paying CeeDee Lamb top-tier wide receiver money, many have believed that Pickens will part ways with Dallas after the season.Despite the rumors, the Cowboys decided to keep Pickens. Jones has now made some post-deadline comments that provide a very telling outlook for the star wideout.Oct 8, 2026; Arlington, Texas, USA; Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones speaks to the media before the game at AT&T Stadium.
